Many of them make short stops and moor their sailboats and yachts in marinas, especially in city ports – which makes it almost impossible to find a free spot for the day. Especially at the port of Izola this year's number of nautical tourists has increased substantially; both Portorož and Izola marinas are very satisfied with the season.
Piran city port is the most popular among nautical tourists. There are 40 mooring spaces available, but at weekends they cannot accommodate all those who would like to stop their crafts in Piran.
Obviously, this year Izola was discovered by sailors. At the port in Koper the number of day moorings has been growing, which they believe results from a better tourist offer in the old city centre.
